Abstract
A flexible non-skid strip is constituted by a main body extending along the length of the strip and adapted to be secured to the tread portion of a stair, a forward edge anchoring portion coextending with the main body parallel to and spaced from the main body and adapted to be secured to the riser of the stair, an arcuate cross-section connection portion integrally connected to the upper surfaces of the main body and the anchoring portion and projecting above the upper surfaces of the main body and the anchoring portion so as to integrally connect the main body and anchoring portion together and adapted to bend about the stair edge of said stair so as to cover the stair edge, and a non-skid top surface portion on the upper surface of the main body.
Claims3
A flexible non-skid strip comprising:
